Working modes
KAPTOR
MINI
has two different operating modes: continuous mode and discontinuous mode. In both cases,
data transmission can be activated.
The two different modes allow the user to make the device perform according to the needs of their
applications, which may need to guarantee:
✓
long battery life
✓
a continuous and frequent acquisition of data for a short period of time
✓
transmission for remote monitoring of acquired data
There is also an additional mode that allows the user not to consume battery in the transport or storage
phases of the instrument, when it is not necessary to carry out measurements and data transmission. This
is the freezing mode.
9.1
Continuous mode
In continuous operating mode,
KAPTOR
MINI
remains constantly on, each of its management peripherals
and any external sensors remain constantly powered. No type of operation is performed to reduce
consumption.
It is possible to connect to the device via App at any time, in order to proceed with the configuration or
data visualization.
This mode is recommended only if you have an external power source available.
Battery life is highly reduced in this working mode.
9.2
Discontinuous/Low power Mode
In low power Mode,
KAPTOR
MINI
is programmed to enter an energy saving mode in which any unnecessary
internal and external peripherals are disconnected. In this way, the power absorption from the batteries
is reduced to the minimum, ensuring greater autonomy. The instrument reactivates only to carry out the
reading from the sensors and possibly the data transmission.
A manual activation (wake-up mode) can be
performed by briefly approaching (1 to 5 seconds) the
magnet to the reed contact (magnetic) located where
the blue sticker is highlighted in the picture on the left.
In this way, also Wi-Fi connection is temporarily
activated, to guarantee the ability to connect via App.
